Thread Name: 100 Top Folk/Blue Albums of the Century
Subject: RE: 100 Top Folk/Blue Albums of the Century
Judy Mayhan's classic traditional folk album "Rockin' The Cradle" has finally been reissued on limited edition CD by Shayomi Productions, which is owned by members of Judy's family. Judy's later LPs "Moments" and "Judy Mayhan" are also now available on CD from Shayomi. The place to find out more is Judy's new website at http://www.judymayhan.com

"Rockin' The Cradle" was nominated way back in this thread as one of the Top 100. It was first released as an LP album on Horizon Records in 1962. Soon after it was reissued on the Everest/Tradition label under the title "Folk Songs of Olde Eire," which they mostly are not. The album has been out of print for decades and has become a rare collectible.

Judy is living in Mendocino County, California, and she autographs each of the Shayomi CDs. She is in poor health, and has been unable to perform since 1986 due to a hearing problem that makes her hypersensitive to sound.
